@JessNyznik Oh, you are not avoiding a get-together next time we're in Peterborough.

That's a wrap on my time in the news industry. I'm off to go pursue an exciting opportunity. Cheers to everyone who welcomed me into their homes - thanks for watching, and it's been a pleasure to keep you informed!

I'm heartbroken and furious to learn many of my former colleagues @CHEXNewswatch were laid off this week following more cuts to local news. These brilliant people have worked to the bone with little resources to keep Peterborough informed - now repaid with a slap to the face.
